Tabor: Cekanice: D3, 75,6 km, České Budějovice Direction
Tucked into the rolling countryside of South Bohemia, Tábor is a place whose character is shaped by the Lužnice River and its elevated historic core. Founded in 1420 by followers of Jan Hus, it became one of the principal centres of the Hussite movement, which challenged the medieval Catholic Church in Bohemia. Much of the old town stands on a rocky promontory above the river, behind sections of historic fortifications, with narrow lanes leading to Žižka Square. Nearby, the D3 motorway carries long-distance traffic through fields, woods and scattered settlements, placing Tábor on the main road corridor between Prague and České Budějovice. The contrast between its fortified centre and rural setting remains central to the town’s identity.

Tábor straddles a rocky ridge between the Lužnice River and Tismenický Stream in South Bohemia, and this defensible setting shaped its emergence as a Hussite stronghold. Founded in 1420 by followers of Jan Hus, the town took its name from the biblical Mount Tabor. Its compact historic centre preserves irregular lanes, underground passages and the Kotnov Tower, a surviving part of the former castle fortifications. Below the old town, the Lužnice follows a wooded valley, while Jordán, a 15th-century reservoir, forms part of Tábor’s waterside setting. Hussite history remains central to the town’s museums, monuments and traditions. Browse nearby webcams to discover different corners of Tábor and South Bohemia.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre.
